Chapter 1
It’s been 2 years but I just don’t have the courage to stand up and try to move on.
Dahil siguro sa hangang ngayon binubulag pa rin ako nung mga pangako niya.
Mga pangako niyang lubos kong pinaniwalaan.
Flashback:
This is our 8th monthsary and as usual dinala na naman niya ako sa paborito naming kainan gave me 12 white roses wala naming bago pero still kinikilig pa rin ako as if this is the first time na ginawa niya sakin to.
Pero while we are eating our favorite Emapanada, bigla siyang sumeryoso.
Aba bago ata to.
“Ralph, ano yun?”
“haha. Ralph? So pag seryoso wala na dapat endearment”
“So kelngan pinapasa yung tanong?”
Huminga muna siya ng malalim.
“sasabihin ko pero promise me first you won’t get mad”
“ok.”
“Bunch, kukunin na kami ni daddy sa Hawaii. And dun na kami… for good. I’m sorry hindi ko nasabi sayo ng mas maaga pero kasi we were so happy, ayoko lang kasing sirain yung moment.”
Nagulat ako. But I managed to smile and…
“Oh silly! Why would you think I’ll be mad? Maganda nga yan eh para naman mamiss ako ng konti.” Then I gave him a fake laugh.
“What’s with that fake laugh? I know you Gayle!”
I knew he’d notice.
Hindi na lang ako umimik.
“Bunch, I’ll be just a call away. Tiyaka wala ka bang tiwala sa gwapo mong boyfriend?(laughs) Babalikan kita, hindi kita ipagpapalit hinding hindi rin kita dadagdagan. I promise.”
Yes. I should trust him.
They say that, “Long-distance relationships” doesn’t work. Well not with us.
Not us.
Not us…
Sa bilis ng pagdaloy ng araw(?), hindi ko namalayan na ito na ang araw ng flight nila. Napag-usapan naming na hindi nalang ako pupunta kasi baka malunod yung mga tao sa airport dahil sa mga luha namin. Hehe.

Sunod sunod na tumulo mga luha ko sa mga mata ko.
“Anak, it’s been 2 years. Alam kong masakit pero you have to accept that RALPH MADRID won’t be coming back. He doesn’t deserve even a tear from my precious GAYLE RAMOS.”
Yes that’s my mom TINA RAMOS.
“mom, at least naman mailabas ko ung sama ng loob ko diba?”
“eh hindi paba sapat ang dalawang taon para mailabas mo yan. Aba! Gaano ba karami yan ha? (laughs) tara labas tayo.”
